Tribute Song (Bury Me In Flowers)

by forgettheghosts

A song/poem I wrote to symbolize the death of tributes. If you look hard, it connects to other elements in the series.

Wrote this a LONG time ago, back when I was totally obsessed with the Hunger Games. It sounds like it's about Rue, but it's not. I could go on about the references and how certain lines connest to Mockingjay, but I won't. Enjoy.

Bury me in flowers

I'm counting down the hours

Till I go.

Drenched in sun in a meadow

Last chance to fill this empty soul.

So bury me in flowers

To frame this dying glow.

Washed with pain and sorrow

Waiting for a hero no one knows.

Just bury me in flowers

And make sure some one knows.

But the sun will shine

And more will grow.

Wounds will heal

And just maybe

Someone will

Remember me.
